“It’s not a decision that would be up to me. And I would not make myself available to presenting an opinion,” Trebek told TVLine at the TV press tour. “I would leave it up to the people in charge.” Jeopardy! executive producer Harry Friedman added: “We would welcome his opinion, obviously, but he feels like it’s really not up to him. And he has said that for a long time.” Pressed on who'd be his dream choice to take over for him, Trebek said: "Uhhhh, let’s see…. Betty White! Betty White is my choice.”
